Boston Globe Names M.L. Schmitt Inc. a Top Place to Work in 2024

SPRINGFIELD — M.L. Schmitt Inc. has been named one of the 2024 Top Places to Work in Massachusetts in the 17th annual employee-based survey from the Boston Globe.

Top Places to Work recognizes the most admired workplaces in the state voted on by the people who know them best — their employees. The survey measures employee opinions about their company’s direction, execution, connection, management, work, pay, benefits, and engagement. The employers are placed into one of four groups: small, with 50 to 99 employees; medium, with 100 to 249 workers; large, with 250 to 999 staff members; and largest, with a workforce of 1,000 or more employees. M.L. Schmitt Inc. was ranked 23rd in the small-companies category.

“The best employers pay attention to the many ways work changes — and the many ways it stays the same — and figure out how to keep people engaged and motivated through it all,” said Katie Johnston, the Globe’s Top Places to Work editor.

M.L. Schmitt Inc. is an electrical contractor located at 371 Taylor St. in Springfield and 198 Pleasant St. in Ashland. Since 1923, it has provided industrial, commercial, and residential construction, working in areas including renewable energy, hospitals, transportation, education, assisted-living facilities, data centers, fuel dispensaries, dormitories, residential complexes, and more.
